History
Established in 2012, the OCRN was formed to advance research into obsessive-compulsive and related disorders. Its formation marked a commitment to fostering collaboration and addressing critical research questions in the field.
Through the activities of our Network, in 2017 we obtained an EU H2020 COST Action grant to establish a community of scientists and educators in support of research into the neuropsychopharmacology of problematic usage of the Internet.
